It's way past time that I got onto adsl - broadband, as we quaintly call it in the UK - and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a router (with built-in modem, and wireless broadcast) that's not too fiddly with FreeBSD.

I've been using a SpeedStream ethernet DSL modem / NAT device with FreeBSD for a couple years. (I can't seem to remove it from my wall at the moment to see the exact model number .) This was provided by my ISP for "free" as part of a DSL contract.

I don't have any experience with a single device that fulfills all of your requirements: modem + router + wireless AP. AFAIK it is more common for home users to attach a so-called SOHO wireless router to a DSL modem, and then attach the home PC(s) to the SOHO wireless router/switch.

Is it SpeedStream 4200? I got one, had used for months before moving to cable internet, and it served me very well.

To the OP: take a look at Netcomm NB6plus4w or Dynalink RTA1025W.

And yes, you guys remind me of my abandoned D-Link 320g. There are some settings which can only be changed in IE!

been using SpeedTouch v516 ADSL modem/router (running in bridge mode) and mpd4 on FreeBSD for almost an year and a half. Works well. Stay away from TP Link. At my first job i have bought one and it crashed serving 5 computers.

all the best,

It, as always, depends where are you going to use this router. At home? Ok, such devices are good enough. But I wouldn't trust them at company level...
The price correlates very good in the case of router quality/capabilities!

Check out the Linksys WRTG line of home routers. They run embedded Linux, and can be flashed with alternate firmware (like OpenWRT) that add a lot of features to them.

Not really, only WRT54L running stock Linux (L is short for Linux), all other running normal Linksys firmware. Also, not all WRT series routers can be flashed with 3rd party firmware (like the recent WRT54G version v7.0) or they only take the mini, not full version. Im pretty much familiar with WRT series since I own 2 of WRT54L atm

Btw, the OP asks for all in one device (modem, router, AP), not just router

Another vote for the Siemens Speedstream 4200 here. I've been using it for a small home network for two years now. It's one of those set it up and forget about it types. Really reliable.

It fronts for our network at home, but I've disabled almost all of its built-in features, preferring to let the OpenBSD machine behind it do all the work (packet filtering, NAT, DHCP, DNS, NTP, proxy, wireless AP, bandwidth-shaping, spam delaying, etc).
